Time does not stand still
Created | Updated Feb 2, 2007
Time does not stand still
that which we have left undone
will be so forever;
that which we leave unsaid
will become thoughts instead of words;
the paths we have left untrodden
will become tangled with weeds
and will be for ever lost
in the contours of the land;
we can crush the fragile structure of
our lives with doubt,
and those of us who fear the unknown
will be afraid of life forever.
